I believe so. The probiotics of the milk plus changing the ph of the leaf surface is a 1-2 punch.

Spinosad is very short lived, made from beneficial bacteria, it breaks down completely and is absorbed by the plants within a few days. It's one of the only things I am willing to use on flowering plants.
Spinosad has sulfer in it as a anert ingredant. Sulfer can be tasted so becarful in flower with it. I think 30 day residual is safe.
Amazon. I just downloaded the kindle version to my phone.

First, because by the time the grower has discovered the infestation, chances are almost certain they've already been laying eggs. Spraying a week apart with a pesticide with a short window of effectiveness has generally proven to be a good compromise between getting the job done and excessive application.

Do you happen to know the persistence duration of Spinosad? My biggest concern is that anything I've sprayed needs to have had ample time to dissipate/degrade by chop day.
Avid has a 30 day residual affect. It's about the heaviest posin on the market. If you get russet it's a must have. spray it as soon as you find the problem and often in hopes of killing them in veg. so that it has time to dissipate for hopefully 60 days leaving the harvest clean.

I can't find anything about sulfer being in spino. I'm thinking you must be thinking of a different product. Unless you have a link about the spino. I've not noticed any bad flavors. It can be used all the way up until the day of harvest.

Spinos AD was recommended to me by a professor of entomology at uc Davis as the safest pesticide to use with regulatory.

Yeah, Avid is heavy shit. For day to day prevention and catching infestations in their early stages, I use and recommend Safer Soap and/or Azamax.

I think it was TWS that told me about the sulfer and taste in spinosad. I'll look it up and see if I can find what gave me that opinion. I could be wrong. thats happened before.:oops:

this one hooks up to the PC as well. I wonder if the one mjma got is the $150 dallor one. My sister got mine for me for my birthday so I didn't do the shopping.
It's somewhere in the $80-100 range depending on where you go. I actually ordered mine for my kids
to do science projects, but I plan to get plenty of use out of it too, lol. It had been sitting in the box since march and I finally got it hooked up and the software installed the other day.

@MjMama
Think I figured out that Using safers 3/1 in flower could cause a sulfer taste. It's recommended to use spinosad or BT for worms

@TWS Do you still have that chart you posted last season from ICmag discribing the leave problems symtoms?

I had saved it but after my pc crashed I lost it.

That makes sence. I've never used the 3-1. BT is great for worms and only worms, but the spino works for both worms and other pests too. You should try some to control things if you need it after flowering starts this season.

thanks oragrow .
thanks TWS . that's a different chart. I found what I needed on it.
my clones when put outside in two different locations have burn't looking leaves. the tips are white. according to the chart it could be root rot. maybe I shouldn't let my root get so big before I transplant. thinking stuffing all the rots in a one gallon can is bad cause they might get soggy and rot . thinking out loud here.
